I bought this book with high expectations. I teach dance, drama, and art to elementary school children and I found only one really good lesson from this book. There is a bunch of information on how to use national standards for dance in the classroom and some decent rubics, but as a whole...I wished I would have saved my money.

I teach dance to adult women, and, although this book is geared towards teaching children, I have found the dance cards enormously useful. Using the suggestion in the book to pass out the cards to students in small subgroups, I have seen amazing creativity result in the mini-choreographies that they make. Using the cards is a great 10-15 minute class exercise that really enhances creativity. I've received good feedback from students, and, in my opinion, the cards alone are worth the price of the book. The book also contains some good basic information about body positioning, choreography, and how to use the cards. The book is written in very clear language, with clear illustrations and graphics. I'd rate it an A+.
